Can satellites control the weather?

No, but we can detect the weather.

In essence, meteorological satellite is an automatic advanced weather station that can control the weather in space, and the satellite network for controlling the weather is the product of the combination of computer communication and controlling space remote sensing.

Scientists say it is possible to control the weather. Our science and technology are still developing rapidly. With the increase of natural disasters on the earth, all countries in the world are trying to launch satellite networks to control meteorology into space. This satellite network is used to control the weather. It can detect the coming weather in any part of the world in real time and has the ability to change the weather in a certain place.

Meteorological satellites and human beings

Meteorological satellites can be divided into sun-synchronous orbit meteorological satellites (also known as polar orbit meteorological satellites) and geostationary meteorological satellites. Sun-synchronous orbit meteorological satellites patrol the global surface twice a day to obtain global meteorological data; The geostationary meteorological satellite can continuously observe the meteorological data of the global 1/4 area and transmit the meteorological data back to the ground in real time.

Since 1958 launched the first artificial satellite with meteorological instruments, a global meteorological satellite network has been formed in space. Meteorological satellites have greatly changed our life on earth.

Generally speaking, meteorological satellites have the advantages of wide observation range, many times, quick aging, integrity, continuity and systematicness, and are not limited by natural conditions and national boundaries, nor by time and space. They can accurately predict severe weather such as typhoons, blizzards and rainstorms, and monitor forest fires.

Through meteorological satellites, meteorologists can observe the area of 100% of the earth's surface, so that people can accurately obtain continuous and global atmospheric motion laws, update temperature, wind and storm information every six hours, make accurate meteorological forecasts, and greatly reduce disastrous losses. Even if there are "emergencies" from time to time, people can be prepared for early warning.
